Unbroken Podcast with Richard Akita
Your Husband Cheats… And You're Still Told to Submit?
You can do everything right. You can love your spouse with everything in you. But if you don't understand that submission is not synonymous with suffering in silence, if you don't recognize that faithfulness doesn't mean losing your voice, and if you're not intentional about understanding that scripture requires both partners to fulfill their roles equally, you'll miss the foundation that holds everything together. In this deeply vulnerable, profoundly insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with Yoko Kobi Gold, author of Faithful, Not Voiceless, for an unfiltered conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about what it takes to sustain a marriage, why being a good Christian wife became synonymous with suffering in silence, and the uncomfortable truth that we hide behind culture and scripture to box women into enduring instead of enjoying marriage. Yoko holds nothing back. She breaks down why society expects that as a Christian woman you have to literally lie down for a husband to walk over, why church leaders told her to clean up her cheating husband if she found him on the matrimonial bed with another woman, and the one thing most women refuse to accept: if you read the book of Ephesians chapter 5 it says a woman must submit to the man but it also says a man has to love a woman as Christ loves the church so if I am going to play my part by submitting and then he doesn't play his part by loving me how does that really benefit the marriage. She reveals why her ex husband would literally use the word of God to corner her and say I'm talking you don't have to talk, how church counselors asked what did you do when he cheated instead of asking why is he doing that, and the moment that changes everything: when you realize that your role as a wife is to pray for your husband regardless of whether he's cheating abusive or does nothing but the Bible does not ask a woman to love the husband as Christ loved the church. She also explains why submission is also a form of love and God knew that women would naturally find it difficult to submit so he instructed us to submit, how God knew that men are not emotional beings so he instructed men to love because he wanted a balance, and the one thing every woman needs to know: every woman that is loved right will naturally submit to that man unless that woman is a witch. This isn't just marriage advice. It's a masterclass in understanding why culture is one of the things that has positioned women to endure instead of enjoy marriage, why most of the time our brain is tuned to an overview of what our predecessors did so psychologically it leads you to choose certain spouses that probably you're not supposed to choose, and how if she had known herself the way she got to know herself while she was in the marriage and after the marriage she wouldn't have ended up with her husband. Yoko dives into why she went to rescue him because he was an orphan and didn't have that close knit family so she wanted to be that family for him, how she kept telling herself that God brought her into his life so that he would experience what genuine love is, and the uncomfortable reality that unfaithfulness was one of the major issues in the marriage but church leaders told her she was always the difficult one stubborn disrespectful and that's why he's doing what he's doing. She also tackles why she realized at the point where her personal growth was not being invested in that she can either stay in the marriage for her daughter and not fulfill her dreams or she can stay out and pursue her dreams and give her daughter a better life and a better example for what a woman ought to be, how before the separation came they were practically tenants in the same house in different rooms minding their business and only having conversations when it has to do with the child, and the one thing every person needs to understand: when you are consistently doing the things that you're supposed to do and you're still not seeing changes in the person there's always a trigger because it's draining and some people would not recognize the consistency but rather attack the triggers. If you're married, wondering whether submission means suffering in silence, or asking yourself how to be faithful without losing your voice, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop enduring and start understanding that you can be faithful and have a voice because scripture requires both partners to fulfill their roles equally and when a woman is loved as Christ loves his church submission naturally comes.
